"Elmer Valin, New Haven, CT
He is a young doctor, who seems to be right on top of his field. He says his mentor is Dr. Reinhold, who he has trained under during his residency at St. Rapheals. He is new at the LAP procedure, attempting it 3 times, successful only one time. I have received a list of previous patients from him, they give very good info about him and the surgery. I have been told that the nurses at St. Raphe's say he is one of the best. Very detailed, very skilled.
He has a great bedside manner, treated me very respectfully. He emphasizes pre and post operative care and instructions. He recieved a great review from one of his gallbladder patients who happen to talk to me in the waiting room. She was one week post op. Laparscopic gallbladder removal. on a scale of 1-10, I'd rate him an 8. This rating comming from a one time meeting. I will update this as I return for a follow-up. I felt very comfortable with him, but more importantly, I 'm liking what I hear from people who he has treated."
